A word search for every theme.
Word Search lays out a letter grid from your list of words - across, down, diagonal, and backwards too if you want it harder. Players find each word by marking its first and last letter, with a mouse, a finger or the keyboard. The server checks every mark and keeps the time, and the fastest full solve tops the board.
What Word Search does for you
Your words, any theme
Up to 40 words, 3 to 15 letters. The grid is laid out for you, and Shuffle gives another.
Every direction you choose
Across, down and diagonal, each a switch, plus backwards for a harder puzzle.
Drag, tap or type
Drag across a word, tap its ends, or use the arrow keys. It works on phones too.
Show the list, or not
Show the words to find, or just say how many - harder still.
Hints, if you like
Show where one word starts, for a few seconds on the clock.
Export and import
Move word searches to another site as a file.
